My mother wasn’t a prop. She was a peace advocate before she met my father and was instrumental in him speaking out against the Vietnam War. Please understand…my mama was a force. Here’s what I wrote about her a few years ago: huffpost.com/entry/coretta-… #CorettaScottKing

Hey Twitter, my name is Zara, I am a 25 yr old black woman and I am curating my first ever art exhibition called “Black Love, Honor, and Respect” at Baltimore Studio for Black history month. One RT could create a special connection ❤️✊🏿🫀✊🏽

Watch the trailer for my new short film, GRACE, which premiered at The 2024 Sundance Film Festival last month, and will (hopefully) be coming soon to a festival near you! …and maybe hire me to direct a new project😅 I’m open to work! Go to nataliejharris.com for more✨

This isn’t very library of you!

Watching everything that’s happening as a Gen Z-Millennial cusp (born in ‘96), I see what’s happening to youth on college campuses as, on top of everything else, the logical end point of decades of neglect of and vitriol towards children and young adults. 🧵🪡

When it comes to this current political moment in the US it's OK to say "we don't know..yet." Those pontificating the loudest often do the least. Read broadly. Listen deeply. Register widely. Mobilize thoroughly. VOTE intentionally. Stop giving away your power.

Pronouncing someone's name correctly is a choice. It is a choice to show respect. It is a choice to honor what their parents decided rather than what you think it should be. It's a choice not to be lazy and obstinate. If you can say Shostakovich, you can make the effort

We’re coming to Philly's BlackStar Film Festival! GRACE will screen alongside the feature-length film, INKY PINKY PONKY – THE ODD ONE OUT. 📍Philadelphia, PA 📆 8/3 @ 6PM at The Suzanne Roberts Theatre 💻 Available virtually for beginning 8/3 @ 7PM ET blackstarfest.org/festival/event…

A lot of folks dont know the difference between race, ethnicity, and nationality and it shows. I highly recommend Chapters 4 and 5

I wonder if God knows he can just talk to me normal instead of all these lessons and riddles and side quests. Bring back talking to ppl directly through burning bushes.

A different Supreme Court could have saved Marcellus Williams. All 3 Democratic judges dissented. All 6 majority Republicans approved his execution. Presidents appoint them. Please stop acting like this election doesn't matter. Please stop acting like voting doesn't matter.

“WHY ISN’T THIS ON THE NEWS” “NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS” “THIS SHOULD BE A BIG STORY” But.. you don’t actually watch the news.. ever

The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality. - James Baldwin

Black teachers hit different. Especially Black male teachers. To all of the teachers out there who represent us… Thank you and God bless you!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #BlackMen #Teachers #BlackStudents #education #BlackTwitter

A normal day in Gaza without media coverage-This is what life looks like through my lens. If you’re scrolling, please leave a dot.

This is so, so, so dark

Dr. Saya Aziz has been volunteering in Gaza since Sept. 9. She says she’s lost count of how many limbs she’s had to amputate without adequate medical equipment. Dr. Aziz spoke to AJ+’s Dena Takruri about the horrors she’s seen.

Reminder that the civil rights movement was not just random people who had enough one day. They were carefully and militantly trained political activists who deployed strategic forces to end Jim Crow segregation. Never forget them.

“Fascism is a new name for the terror the Negro has always faced in America.” -Langston Hughes, 1936
